Chapter 1152: A Mysterious Letter
The fragrance of tea wafted gently, the steam rising before their eyes. A small sip filled their mouths with its delicate flavor.
“The appearance is tight and green, the fragrance as delicate and lasting as an orchid. No wonder it’s premium Earl Grey.”
“You’re lucky today. A friend brought me this tea, and I’ve been saving it for a special occasion,” Abel said, pouring tea himself.
Channing accepted it nonchalantly, “You’ve always been stingy. Today, I might as well drink enough to make you regret it.”
“With you, I don’t mind being generous.”
Kelvin leaned close to Cheyenne, his warm breath tickling her pale neck. The scene of the young couple whispering sweet nothings was so saccharine that others couldn’t help but tease.
“Cheyenne, Kelvin, what are you two laughing about? Share the joke with us.”
Abel, holding his teacup, looked at them with a fatherly gaze.
“Nothing much. Cheyenne was just saying you and my father-in-law… oof.”
Kelvin was punched in the stomach mid-sentence, Cheyenne flashing a grimace.
The other hand pinched his arm tightly.
“What about me and your father?”
Mr. Harrison asked cluelessly.
Cheyenne answered sheepishly, “Haha, I just meant Godfather and my dad have a great relationship, that’s all.”
“Of course. We’ve been best friends since childhood, even shared clothes.”
Their bond was so strong that when both fell in love with Selah simultaneously, they didn’t hold it against each other. Instead, they competed fairly.
This harmonious yet conflicting love triangle ended with Selah choosing Channing.
The friendship between the two wasn’t damaged but rather strengthened, as they now shared a common goal: protecting the one they loved.
“If only I could see Mom for myself.”
Cheyenne was keen to know what kind of woman her mother Selah was, someone who captivated two outstanding men for a lifetime. She had heard many tales, but it was her greatest regret never to have seen her biological mother with her own eyes.
Channing missed his wife deeply and felt guilty toward his daughter.
If he hadn’t insisted on leaving back then, Selah wouldn’t have hiddenly taken Cheyenne away from Onistead, wouldn’t have fallen into an ambush to ultimately suffer a difficult labor, leading to Cheyenne’s motherless birth.
The mood dampened quickly, and Kelvin immediately tried to cheer her up. “You will. Mom will become a star, watching over you from the sky.”
“And me, I’ll love you, take care of you, treasure you, and protect you from any harm for life.”
In the wrong setting, his sudden confession made Cheyenne blush like a rose.
However, her heart felt as warm as a summer sun, eyes misting slightly.
“Thank you, Kelvin. I believe you.”
Without further ado, let’s talk about how he was willing to use his life as a shield on Dragon Serpent Isle to open up a way out for her.
There are few men in the world who can be as foolish as he is.
“Cheyenne, I love you.”
Kelvin couldn’t help but grab her small hand and place it on his chest, the heart beneath his ribcage would beat for her in this life and the next.
Channing: “…”
So, this Kelvin is the one who deceived his precious daughter with such sweet words.
Abel: “…”
If only I had half of Kelvin’s ability to speak when I was young, Selah wouldn’t have chosen Channing.
Cheyenne felt very embarrassed.
Kelvin used to be aloof before, but now he suddenly became clingy…
“Cough, cough, Kelvin, stop fooling around. Godfather must have called us here today to discuss important matters.”
It’s okay if the topic change is a bit clumsy, as long as she doesn’t feel embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Harrison smacked his thigh.
“Look at me, I get so happy seeing you all that I forget about the main business. Yes, I did call you here today to discuss something.”
Setting aside his tea, Mr. Harrison had his assistant bring out a black gift box.
“What is this? Does godfather have a gift for me?”
Cheyenne joked.
“Yes, yes, I almost forgot about the gift, I’ll give it to you later.”
“But what’s inside this box is not a gift, you’ll know when you open it.”
Last time he gave her a pair of grandmother green gemstone earrings the size of thumbs, worth up to seven figures.
Cheyenne didn’t dare to accept his gifts, they were just too expensive.
“I was just joking with you, let’s see what mystical things are being sold here.”
When the box was opened, it contained only a pile of paper.
“What is this?”
She furrowed her eyebrows lightly, curiously picking it up to read.
“Is this a letter?”
Although signed by “Ernesto”, the handwriting looked familiar.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
She immediately handed the letter to the person next to her.
“Kelvin, look, is this his handwriting?”
With over a decade of friendship, Sam’s handwriting was something he could recognize at a glance.
“Yes, it’s him, what does the letter say?”
They thought this would be a threat or something else, but it turned out to contain evidence of Jaelynn collaborating with foreign forces.
“This…”
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, unable to believe it was true.
“What’s Sam up to?”
“On the private jet to Vrisa, a flight attendant handed me this letter.”
At first, he thought it was a prank, because the contents of the letter stated that he would die in Brewood in twenty-four hours. The ill intentions towards the president were clear.
